ABSTRACT: In environments, microalgae have been observed to coexist with bacteria. Different nitrogen-fixing bacteria (NFB) were isolated from Armenian soils and their growth was evaluated in co-cultivation with the microalga Tetradesmus obliquus and cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The most effective mutualistic consortium was T. obliquus-NFB5 (Sphingobacterium sp. L13G8). This resulted an increase in...
ABSTRACT: This study aims to provide insights into a new consortium of a microalga, twelve nitrogen-fixing (N-fixing) bacteria and a cyanobacterium. The microalga Tetradesmus obliquus (T), in conjunction with various N-fixing bacteria and the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (S), the N-fixing bacterium Sphingobacterium sp. L13G8 (5), cultivated in complete Bristol medium and in Bristol-NaNO3 free condi...
